It's been a while since we heard of any updates coming to the Sony Google TV and even longer the Logitech Revue but there is some action finally happening on that front as we now know thanks to an update from Google TV Developers.

The Sony Google TV has an update on the way that in addition to adding support for watching movies purchased through Google Play also includes support for watching videos via the YouTube Movies page.

Logitech Revue owners aren't so lucky as of yet though, don't fret as the Google TV developer team has noted there is some update news coming your way as well sooner rather than later.

I got it at $90. But hardly use it because I don't have a cble box in my bedroom.. just my 360, which I used for games, movies & shows(Netflix & Crackle), and sports via the ESPN app. But when I do use it the few times a week, I do miss it.

This along with a Netflix account and a digital OTA Antennae for local channels on your TV, makes the Revue an AWESOME box.

If they could finally get PLEX working right, you could ditch PlayOn subscription and save there.

For true "cord cutters" I suggest combining a Roku, OTA and GTV box. I only pay $16 a month for Netflix and Hulu Plus (On the Roku). I used to pay $90 a month to DirecTV so this is certainly worth considering. Even if you want to go completely "free" and not pay for Netflix, PlayOn and Hulu Plus, you will still be happy by using the 5 apps I listed above.

Hope you enjoy better your GTV experience with the tips I suggested. You won't be disappointed.

Lots of apps are still missing in Google TV, like Slingbox, HBOGo, Amazon Instant Video, PlayOn TV, NFL. All this though can be access through browser. But like you said, it could be better if its a native app. I do like my Sony Google TV.
